Worn sway bar bushings or sway bar end links may cause a rattling or clunking noise from the front suspension during low-speed driving. Though not always the root cause, front struts are often replaced for this condition.

    Sounds like loose parts when going over speed bumps or on a rough road.

    Had front brakes replaced by original dealer after noticing noise from brakes. Ever since then the front end clunks at low speed and especially when cold. Returned it to original dealer who said that nothing was wrong. Had my local garage mechanic look at it and he greased/oiled the bushings. It stops cluncking for a while, but I've had this done before and it only lasts for a short time. Took in to a different Chrysler dealer a few years later (first one went out of business) and they recommended about a $1000.00 worth of work. I said "not today" and took car home. I do not trust dealers. Everytime I take a car in they come up with questionable problems that need servicing.

    Every time I get a clunking sound when going over rough roads I've had the stabilizer bar bushing replaced. I've had to have this repair done at 19,000, 35,000, 55,000 and 65,000. I'm am tired of making the same repair over & over but it does correct the problem

    Front end clunking sounds at low speeds when going over any bump. This problem started after I drove down a rough cobble stone road.

    Replaced sway bar bushings on front end. Make sure they are dealer oem parts.
